Qualifying for Social Security disability benefits is not easy. Why? Because the tests that are applied are so subjective and the disabling conditions that affect the public too varied. To obtain benefits, you must prove to the Social Security Administration that you meet its definition of “disabled.” While the law defines “disability,” the definition does not provide us with a clear, bright-line test. There are many variables at play when it comes to assessing a health condition, and, as a result, the process of obtaining benefits can be cumbersome.

Fortunately, you do not have to navigate this process alone. An experienced attorney can help guide you through the steps towards qualifying for the benefits that you deserve.
